We stayed for our whole 8 day trip to Iceland from the US. We are a family of 4 and the family room was a nice size to fit us. The place was very clean and the beds and pillows were comfortable. Vogar is approx 20-30 min outside of Reykjavik but worth the drive. The owner lives there as well so if anything is needed she can help right away. She met with us and greeted everyone with a smile and a handshake. Highly recommend Arctic Wind!
Typical airport hostel, which has exactly what you need (and no more) for a single night before leaving the country. In the name of truth, the standard of this hostel is more like a 2- or 3-star hotel than of a typical hostel! Although rooms are spacious, the beds are curiously narrow, but the mattresses are good, so the sleep quality is good - after all. Breakfast is already served from 4 o'clock in the morning, so even those of us who (sigh!) had to catch a very early flight could have breakfast at the hotel. Breakfast is a bit basic, but besides bread the quality and variation is OK. We didn't meet any staff at all other than the receptionist. She was friendly, but indeed on cruise control, so you really had to have your ears perked up to get any of the information.
Located in the airport town of Keflavik, near the cargo terminal , while KEF international about 10 minutes drive away. We stayed here becos we need to catch the 7am flight to London gatwick .Clean n comfy. Love the small lobby n sitting area. Small kitchen but comfy , complimentary coffee free flow. Met the sweet lady owner , she chit chat a bit with my fren. A frequent traveller herself. Highly recommend if you need hotel near KEF airport.
We got there just before midnight and we had a bit of a tricky time finding the hotel! It's in a block of flats and we couldn't see the hotel name anywhere (we did see in the morning that the name is just a non transparent foil with ABC on the windows). When we went inside the vestibule, we saw a piece of paper with an arrow pointing to the reception desk. It was glued by adhesive tape, which was a bit strange. It all looked a little spooky, to be honest! The self-check-in is really quick and easy if you're already inside. We didn't see anyone using the self-check-in or self-check-out during our stay, which was really nice after all (yeas, we are introverts) The hotel rooms are fine, if a little minimalistic and spartan. The hotel has everything you need for one night. TV is in a bit of an awkward position for anyone trying to get to the bed. The sink is a little small. But the price is fair and not high compared to other choices in Iceland, which is great! I'd definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who's flying out in the morning and does not need luxury. It's really handy that you can leave from the airport.
The location is really close to the airport (about 7 minutes by driving) and is close to restaurants. The room was nice and comfortable and there was free parking onsite. The only important we wish it had was a refrigerator in the room other than that it was a great stay before our flight out.
Well my experience was not great. My friend and I REALLY wanted to love it but the moment we got there we were told the credit card we used didn't go through (we booked a week before our date of arrival) but since the owner never contacted us we were not given the chance to offer another card. Instead he accused me of being dishonest and trying to con him into a free room, therefore he gave our room away to someone else! I did my best to assure him that I'm not the **** he seemed to label me as, i offered him another credit card with no problem and explained if he would have just contacted me about the card I'd have given him another one. He had my email in case he needed to get into contact with me, not sure why he didn't. He was brash and not very welcoming. He went on about how strict he is about the rules in place but none of the other guests followed them so I'm not sure why he hated us so much. Thank god we only needed a one night stay because we were really happy to leave the next morning. The woman who worked there, we never got her name, she was kind and it was refreshing to have kindness aimed at us while we were waiting for our pickup the next morning. I would've loved to have met her first and not the guy, maybe our experience would've started out better. I'll never go back but I do wish it went better.
Heel propere kamers, niks op aan te merken. Als je aankomt is de frigo gevuld met kleine drankjes, appels, Skyr, water, en kan je koffie of thee zetten met een ontbijtreep. Ook in de badkamer is alles aanwezig incluus handdoeken . Super handig als je een vroege vlucht hebt, 9 min van de luchthaven, met andere woorden, een aanrader
